I heard the sweet sound of a bird
calling out from a high branch.
No answer,
he didn’t give up.
He showed no anger.
He listened . . .
he called again.
He sang.
He enjoyed his perch,
then called again
and waited some more.
He performed daily tasks while waiting.
The cycle repeated.
THEN,
the right time came
and he got the Word .. .
He sang with such joy!
Love is patient.
Love never fails!
Love is eternal.
